"The girl in the story thought her world was a romance because she was too blind to see the predator standing in the light.

He mutters, his look and tone impassive once again. "Mr. Trevelyan, I'm sure you're not dumb. The word 'no' can be defined as an act or instance of denying or refusing. It is a negative vote or decision. What don't you understand, Sir?" I blink up at him with an innocent smile playing on my lips.

What will you do if I'm the real Queen?" They all go silent, pondering if what I said becomes their reality, will they live for another second? But it seems that they decide to brush that possibility and conclude that the probability of that happening is lower than 1%. Too bad for them, that 1% is happening right now.
